    4. $3.00 ... $2.73

    Explanation:

    Basic EPS = Net income/average number of shares outstanding

    = 1500000/500000

    = $3 per share

    Diluted EPS = 1500000 / (500000 + 50000)

    = $2.73 per share

    Therefore, Colt should report earnings per share for 2018:

    Basic Earnings Per Share of $3

    Diluted Earnings Per Share of $2.73
